Wow did we need a colder winter. Finding those flipping grey and orange striped weevils on other trees now besides my mangos. I found them chewing on an all spice tree. Threw a handful in the canal, fish love them. Guess Ill have to hit those trees with a root drench too. Oddly enough they ignored my graham and pickering which are blooming and have fruit and are in the middle between the infested trees.
Aside from thrips, I see some red scales. It's either Aonidiella aurantii or Aonidiella orientalis.I might be mistaken though, because I have never seen one this small.Do you have any citrus plant close by ?
In slow-drying weather conditions, spray with horticultural oil, or neem oil, or Organocide 3-in-1....
Drought response and/or nitrogen deficiency.
The leaf damage looks like mite o thrips damage in cold weather, but the sick branches dying back looks to be some vascular infection of bacteria or fungus. Put some still-alive brach and leaves into a paper bag, not plastic, and mail to TREC. Tropical Research and Education Center near Homestead, Florida.Meanwhile apply some Alliette or Flanker, or some phosphite product (such as Elemax Foliar Phosphite, or Organocide Plant Doctor.
I need some help identifying my mango trees problem and how to deal with it. I recently bare rooted and repotted it, and it has had a hard time recovering. The tips of the branches started to turn rotten so I cut them off. But every time I cut a little bit more, it would just go black again. Is there some product that I can get locally and a small amount? I do not know how to post pictures. I have some I took though

I mean gritty mix...

I mean gritty mix...Your comment doesn't help me in any way and I was hesitant to even mention the gritty mix bc I didn't want to catch crap. It's disappointing that such a large contributor to the forum would respond like this in a degrading manner.I bare rooted three trees and the other two are doing fine. Reguardless, I know that it was the bare rooting that hurt it. I am asking for help dealing with the black rot, not my preference of soil.
